Exactly. If we enjoy off roading then we should be allowed to show that. I guess it's just the problem with modern society that everything can be taken from 2 angles, and it's crap...

That it may be, but it's also life, I'm afraid.

The Anti's make their problem our problem and if we're brutally honest, there are a minority of hardcore offroaders and laners who really do not care about the environment and sustainablity. Some of these guys have even admitted that a ban won't stop them (why should, seeing as straying off of byways in search of a laugh is already commonplace for them?). This kinda stuff happens across the nation, time and time again.  :evil:

Do we, as the responsible majority, really want to be associated with this type of behaviour (wether by intention or by accident)?  :-k  Sadly, and most frustratingly, this is what happens.  :roll:  If we are to have any chance of a continued laning future, then we are going to have to demonstrate a united and responsible front. So if it means we've got to be a bit more carefull about what we do, then I really don't see what the problem is.

The crap thing about it all, in my view, is that we have to work so damned hard (for example by being cautious with our photos) to prove our passion for our hobby and our countryside, only to find some muppet somewhere posting a picture of his car parked on a burial mound, or some such.  :evil:

Suzota asked why we should be made to feel ashamed. Sadly the answer is frighteningly simple; because they day we stop caring, is the day the we get stopped from laning, permanantly.   :(

cheers

I'm reluctant to voice this out loud - as I'm sure the extremist anti's have this site on their 'watch' list, but given some of the propaganda, narrow mindedness and lies they spread, does it really matter what your avatar shows? They'll look at a spotless 4x4 on a gravel track and still see an environmentally destructive monster chewing up kids and funding terrorism.

We were out yesterday around the Wayfarer in a group of 4. We met a group of green laners that had payed to be lead aroung by a commercial operator. They had the leader and 14 YES 14 following. This is "Simply" way to many. They all got CRAG flyers and told they can go laneing for FREE. But as yet there is no law to stop them, just like there is no law to stop mass ramblers.

As for the NERC bill, there seems sofar, to be lots of loop holes. That need to be worked on.

MUD Club wasn't originally called Mud Club because of anything to do with mud or mud plugging.

It was based on

Modified Unusual Derivatives

Not a lot of people know that..........
